Summer Workshops
Karyotyping
Trainees will learn chromosome preparation, banding techniques, metaphase analysis, karyotyping interpretation, and detection of chromosomal abnormalities associated with genetic disorders and cancers
Animal Handling
Participants will gain experience in animal restraint, dosing methods, injection routes, ethical considerations, biosafety practices, and monitoring procedures commonly used in biomedical and pharmaceutical research
Drug Discovery
From structure prediction to drug design: exploring docking, homology modeling, compound design, and ADMET analysis through bioinformatics and AI-driven approaches
Bioinformatics - Dry Lab
Participants will build core bioinformatics skills through an introduction to R programming and biostatistics, alongside multi-omics data analysis covering upstream and downstream pipelines. The workshop also focuses on translating computational findings into wet lab experimental design, biomarker validation, and applied biomedical research workflows
Clinical Microbiology
Trainees will gain experience in microbial culture techniques, staining methods, pathogen identification, antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), and the interpretation of clinically important microorganisms associated with infectious diseases and diagnostic microbiology workflows
ELISA Assay Technique
Hands-on workshop introduces participants to the principles and labo applications of ELISA in biomedical and clinical research. Trainees will learn sample preparation, plate setup, standard curve generation, assay optimization, data interpretation, and biomarker quantification for disease diagnosis and experimental studies
Basic Molecular Biology Lab Techniques
Trainees will gain practical experience in DNA extraction, quantification, and quality assessment. They will learn the principles of PCR, including reaction components , thermal cycling, and optimization of PCR conditions. Participants will also prepare agarose gel electrophoresis, visualize DNA bands, and interpret molecular biology results through hands-on laboratory applications
Genetic Screening & Counseling for IVF
Trainees will explore IVF laboratory concepts, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), DNA scanning techniques, detection of inherited genetic disorders, interpretation of molecular genetic findings and the clinical role of genetic counseling in reproductive medicine
